Fatigue is a multifaceted and intricate condition resulting from high demands at work and within the healthcare system, as well as from personal factors and inadequate energy recovery. It can be triggered by a variety of predictors, including lifestyle choices, environmental conditions, and both physical and mental health issues. A particularly significant factor contributing to fatigue among nurses has been the COVID-19 pandemic, which has profoundly impacted their lives, work, and perspectives on their profession.
The aim of the study was to examine the fatigue levels among nurses working in urological wards and the sociodemographic factors related to them.
This is a cross-sectional study among 130 urological nurses. The questionnaire included the modified fatigue impact scale (MFIS) and metrics.
In our study, the mean fatigue rating was 52.68 (±16.06) points, and in the individual areas of the MFIS questionnaire, it was 24.10 (±7.34) points in physical functioning, 25.46 (±8.44) points in cognitive functions, and 5.76 (±2.13) points in psychosocial functions, suggesting that fatigue levels range between "sometimes" and "often" factors such as marital status, the number of illnesses among nurses, and the patient-to-nurse ratio are associated with the level of fatigue.
There is a need to conduct more studies that will penetrate the fatigue experienced by nurses and the factors associated with it, especially the components related to marital status and health conditions among nurses. There is still a serious problem with nurse shortages, which cause fatigue and require more systemic solutions than just legal regulations.
疲劳是一种多方面且复杂的状况，源于工作和医疗系统中的高要求，以及个人因素和能量恢复不足。它可能由多种因素引发，包括生活方式选择、环境条件以及身心健康问题。对护士而言，导致疲劳的一个特别重要的因素是新冠疫情，这对他们的生活、工作以及职业观念产生了深远影响。
本研究旨在调查泌尿外科病房护士的疲劳水平以及与之相关的社会人口学因素。
这是一项针对130名泌尿外科护士的横断面研究。问卷包括改良疲劳影响量表（MFIS）和相关指标。
在我们的研究中，平均疲劳评分为52.68（±16.06）分，在MFIS问卷的各个单项领域中，身体功能方面为24.10（±7.34）分，认知功能方面为25.46（±8.44）分，心理社会功能方面为5.76（±2.13）分，这表明疲劳水平介于“有时”和“经常”之间。诸如婚姻状况、护士患病数量以及护患比等因素与疲劳水平相关。
有必要开展更多研究，深入探究护士所经历的疲劳及其相关因素，尤其是与护士婚姻状况和健康状况相关的因素。护士短缺仍然是一个严重问题，这会导致疲劳，并且需要的不仅仅是法律法规的系统性解决方案。
